Upgrading Windows

HP recommends that you uninstall HP devices before upgrading to a newer supported version of
Windows. For example, when upgrading from Windows 2000 to Windows XP, uninstall your HP
device using Add/Remove Programs and then upgrade to the new operating system. After the
operating system upgrade is complete, re-install your HP device using the latest software from the
following URL: www.hp.com/support/LJP2030series

these files, use a different application such as Microsoft Word.
